Services for employees

See below for information from departments and programs that offer services for staff.

Emergency communications

Critical district information, such as emergency school closings and districtwide crisis communication, is generated through GISD Communications. For the most reliable updates, check the following district information channels:

In addition, the Garland ISD Education Foundation receives donations from a variety of businesses and individuals and uses the donations to provide grants for classroom learning projects, field trips, classroom supplies and equipment, student and teacher scholarships, and school programs that benefit student needs.

Instructional Resource Center (IRC)

An extensive collection of resources is available for teachers and staff.

We have staff working around the clock to maintain our buildings and grounds. Our team of carpenters, electricians, HVAC mechanics, painters and plumbers work together to make sure that our facilities provide a safe, attractive and efficient environment for everyone.

Reporting maintenance issues after school hours

GISD Communications serves as primary contact for media inquiries and manages the district’s social media presence. Inquiries and requests can be emailed to Tiffany Veno, director of communications.

Mentoring for first year teachers

Project GOAL is the district's beginning teacher mentoring program that helps teachers with less than a year of experience build a foundation for success. Find out more on the Project GOAL page.

Printing

Printing Services provides fast, affordable, professional-quality printing to district schools and departments. Full bindery service is available. They also manage mail delivery throughout the district.

Printing Services does so much more than simple paper printing. They can handle just about any project you come up with including t-shirts and specialty promotional items. See the list of services below for more information.

Documentation

Translation and Interpretation Services (TIS) promotes effective communication between GISD and the families we serve.

Translation & Interpretation Services provides professional interpretation and translation services to make sure the District effectively communicates with parents and students in any language at any time.

Points to Remember:

Translation is when the written word is changed from one language into another language

Interpretation is when the spoken word is changed from one language into another language

Only District staff can request translation and/or interpretation services
